Cloud 9! Have been a UM hoops fan a long time, many highs and certainly our share of lows. National Champs!! What a feeling. Happy for @jonmak11 He’s had to listen to me talk basketball way too much. Go Blue!

John Beilein walked so Dusty May could run. 9 years before Beilein: UofM was 145-135 with 0 tourney appearances Then came Beilein in 2007: • 278-150 (most wins at MI) • 9 NCAA app • 5 Sweet 16 • 2 Final Fours • 4 B1G titles Tonight isn’t possible without John Beilein.

Absolutely loved watching this man play baseball. My favorite Tiger growing up. RIP.

The Detroit Tigers join all of baseball in mourning the passing of Chet Lemon. While he was a World Series Champion and All-Star on the field, perhaps his biggest impact came off of it. That includes creating the Chet Lemon Foundation and dedicating much of his post-playing career to youth baseball development. Our thoughts are with Chet’s family, friends and all those he coached, mentored and inspired.

Super Sky Point to Gene Hackman. Some actors are great good guys, some are great villains, some are funny. A chosen few are all those things in one exceptional package. That was Gene Hackman. You rooted for him like hell. Or, if he wanted, you despised him. A goddamn legend. #RIP

Super Sky Point to James Earl Jones, whose baritone of gravitas elevated every film he was in. He’ll be remembered most widely for giving voice to Darth Vader but, for me, he’ll eternally be telling a troubled Iowa farmer why the people will come. #RIP
